Losing a spouse is one of the most agonizing losses anyone can experience. The author of Widowish, Melissa Gould, experienced just that when her husband was suddenly hospitalized and his condition gradually worsened until he passed away. Of course, Gould describes her total confusion and uncertainty in the aftermath of his passing. Left to care for their daughter alone, Gould ultimately discovers that despite his passing, their love for each other endures even beyond death.
